I tend to be impatient when it comes to online orders. I'd be checking my mail twice a day, and if "track your order" was a real person, I'd be getting a big slap on the face. However, with the hermitizing and laziness, I've been finding myself doing a lot of online window shopping. The latest purchase was from the Biba for Topshop collection. I was uber ecstatic when I first heard he news about the collaboration, and of course bought a few things. If some pieces weren't sold out, there would have been more items in my basket. I'm over it though.
I settled for the orange leopard print massive shoulder padded mini dress, and the superwide sky blue leopard print pants. They might sound horrendous in theory, but I quite like them. Again, because of all the hype (and also the stupid topshop website removing things from my basket), I ended up getting the dress in a size a bit too big for me.
I was a bit apprehensive about the pants as well, especially because it's viscous. I was scared it would be stretchy, and stick to my "curves" at all the wrong places! Thankfully, it's floaty and airy fairy just as I hoped.
Here are some potential ensembles..
(dress and pants are from Biba for Topshop)
Left outfit: tights (asos), boots (Yves Saint Laurent), scarf (a market in Kuwait), necklace (Topshop), cuffs (a boutique in Berlin)
Middle outfit: petticoat (Beyond Retro), polka dots over the knee socks (Pennys/Primark), scarf (a marker in Kuwait), shoes (Miu Miu), headpiece (Topshop)
Right outfit: velvet bow belt (Beyond Retro), skirt and necklace (H&M), lace leggings and patent purple platforms (Topshop)
Left outfit: black and white top (H&M), jacket with waist belt (Alexander Mcqueen), headpiece (Spitalfield Market), shoes (Miu Miu)
Middle outfit: dress (Christopher Kane for Topshop), neon belt (H&M), hair clips (Pennys/Primark), shoes(Irregular Choice)
Right outfit: yellow knit top (Christian Lacroix), sequin Marylin Monroe jacket (Siren), scarf (vintage), headpiece (Topshop), shoes (Miu Miu)
I would also like to say that I hope Fi is delighted with these photos. They are dedicated to her upcoming amazing party...which I'm sure you'll here all about soon-ish.
Has anyone else purchased any Biba for Topshop items? Please do share!

I tried on that dress! Unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to part with the cash lol. Too bad it sold out so quickly on the net, there are plenty left in the stores by me. It looks awesome on you!
The dress is crazy cool but the pants steal the show for me. Really cool.
Also I would love it if track your order was an actual person. I would be bothering them too but I would become their best friend and I know I would get my way.. lol!
